Summary
This increase to the contract amount is necessary to prepare for and conduct a virtual project information meeting to present the preferred alignment to the community. In addition, updates are required to the project technical documents as a result of changes made by regulatory and oversight federal and state agencies. The overall goal of the project and tasks are to complete the study and obtain location and design concept acceptance (LDCA) from FDOT (acting as the Federal Highway Administration) for replacement of the San Martin Bridge which would make the project eligible for federal funding.
